September 2017 Beauty Favorites

September 2017 Beauty Favorites 




FACE:

I have quite a few "face" products for this month, so I wanted to show why I've loved using each of these this past month. 


Tarte Pro Glow To Go Palette 
I've been loving this Tarte Pro Glow To Go palette all summer long. I've even mentioned it in favorites before. It's really that good of a product! I love the highlights, but the contour shade has been my go-to lately even with other highlighters. This is the shade chisel and it really does that! I feel like this sharpens my cheekbones so well, but with more of a natural chisel. This product is only $23. For the quality the contour shade is worth that alone! 


Maybelline Fit me! Foundation Stick

 I've been switching up (and loving) a lot of different foundations, but my love for this stick foundation has come back after going through my foundations and re-discovering it. I seem to reach for it more often like I used to. It applies so flawlessly and is also a fast foundation to apply. This is great for those days when you're running late!
 Ulta Beauty Brow Tint 

 This is a new love of mine. I've had this in my drawer with my other eyebrow products for so long, but I haven't reached for it. Eyebrow products are so hit or miss with me and I absolutely hate messing up a look with one product. That's what has kept me from trying this product. I'm so glad I finally took that leap and tried it. It's also super fast to apply and blends well in the brows. I normally run a spoolie through my brows after the application. They're a little darker than I normally wear with my ABH Brow Definer (taupe) but this is still the lightest shade of this product. If you haven't tried it out yet, I would! Ulta Beauty products are pretty affordable!


Benefit Hoola Quickie Contour Stick

 This is just a sample I received and I've been trying it out a little at a time. The first time I tried it..It just didn't work for me. I used my normal bronzer brush to blend it out, but it was a little choppy. The next time I used it I really liked it, but I applied it the exact same way! This is hard for me, because it's like this product will only work with certain other products. Some days it looks great and others not so much. Bummer. Then, I was seeing all these people applying their cream contour and bronzers with their sponges and once using my beauty blender.. It's amazing! I haven't had any issues with it since! I applies well with all products that I've used. It just has to be blended out with a beauty blender!




Too Faced Hangover Primer

I had a sample of this in my drawer that I finally tried and I fell in love! I immediately bought a full size and I've literally been using this primer just about everyday! If you're looking for a good moisturizing (non silicone) primer, I would give this a go!



Wet n Wild Contour Palette 

The last face item I want to mention is this contour palette. I haven't been using this long, but I've loved the application so much that I had to include it! The lighter shade is nice to brighten the higher points of your face and I love the contour shade for all the contour areas. When I use this to define my cheek bones and slim my nose, it looks so good!



 LIPS:

I won't spend too long on these, but I've been loving pinky nude glosses, bold lipsticks, and moisturized lips this past month! These are the ones I wanted to include that I've worn a lot of.

 EYES:

This is sort of a "sneak peak" for a blog that's coming soon on these three palettes from Tarte. I've been using these nonstop to really test them out so I can blog a good review about each one. As you can see, they made my favorites. I've already went on and on about how much I love Tarte products, but I have enjoyed creating glam, everyday, and smoky eyes with these. I've also found my way back to Urban Decay's Perversion Mascara.

Amethyst | Gemstone Series

 Amethyst | Gemstone Series  Today is Amethyst. I have to say I started this look a little late in the day and was rushing the beautiful golden hour to get this makeup on and get decent pictures before the sunset.  *If this is the first gemstone look you have seen the others will be linked below, but the idea is creating looks based on gemstones every week and the challenge (not really) using the ColourPop So Jaded palette to create the eye look.  ✖️Brows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Gel (Blonde) ✖️Eyes: Mac Cosmetics Paint Pot (Painterly) ColourPop So Jaded Palette (Ametrine, Flourite, & Amethyst) Tarte Cosmetics Big Ego Mascara I started the look with the Ametrine shade right above my crease and blended it out with a blending brush. Then I took the Flourite shade on my inner corner and brow bone as my highlight.  Then, of course, the Amethyst shade in the palette. I patted it on the lid space with my finger before blending it in my actual ...

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Pro Palette (Nude) Review

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Pro Palette (Nude) Review You may have seen that I received this Doucce palette in my FabFitFun Winter Box . I have actually tried one of their single pans of eyeshadow from a subscription in the past and I did like it and thought it was super pigmented! First of all, I love how compact and cool this freematic palette is. There is small magnets on the back of each shade and the inside of the actual palette is a magnetic board like a Z-Palette. Then I want to mention how I do really like the color layout of this. It is a pretty neutral layout and has shades that everyone has, but the undertone of these are just so different to me. In a good way for sure! They do have other palette options on their website, along with a "build your own palette" option. I will eventually review the highlight (also a bonus!) that came with this, but I want to talk mainly about the 8 eyeshadows. They're just like the single one I received and is very pigm...

Nomad Cosmetics Hudson Valley Palette | Makeup

 It had been too long since I got a palette from Nomad Cosmetics . They have one of the best formulas and I absolutely love when they do darker/fall color stories. I still use the Haunted Europe palette all the time and after using this one I know I'll be just as obsessed with it too. This palette is heavy on mattes with only three metallics. I do love these metallics. The formula is buttery and so pigmented plus the shades really compliment the mattes in this unique color story. The mattes are where it is at. They have some of the best mattes ever! Plus these shades?! You have a neutral side with a touch of greens that are all so toned down and wearable. But you also have those beautiful bold fall colors on the other side. While this was a fall launch and a palette I will be wearing every fall I'm sure. I found this palette to be incredible for the holiday season too. I loved the everyday neutral looks to the glam holiday looks that were perfect for holiday outings. The pigme...
